Mine arrived today, they are so bouncy, even when walking!

Initial impressions: Very bouncy, and the heel drop feels as if a coastal shelf under my midfoot. I wonder if the heel drop feels more abrupt because I've got relatively small feet (UK 5) and is less noticeable in bigger sizes. (For comparison, I usually run in the Lunaracer 3, which has a 7mm drop.)
Size is "true to Nike".
Tested on the treadmill. When running at a slowish pace (10km/hr) on a flat belt I felt as if I was being pushed forward on to my toes and couldn't feel the heels touching the belt at all, which was a bit weird. This was less obvious at 12km/hr+, which is the sort of speed at which I'd race. The shoe + treadmill combination didn't feel unpleasantly bouncy. The coastal shelf thing wasn't intrusive while running.
I have no reason to doubt that I'll be able to run in these and might get some benefit in comparison with my current racing shoes.

question: should my first outing on mine be at track tonight, or should I go for a gentle jog in them first?

How do these fit compared to other brands such as Brooks or Adidas
asking for a friend who hasn't had a pair of Nike runners before

Clare, I run a lot in Adidas. There’s really no comparison! The VF just doesn’t feel like anything else at all!
From a sizing perspective, my VF are the same EU size as my Tempo Boost / Boston Boost.

My second pair of Flyknit arrived today, went for a 7.5 this time, the other pair of Flyknit I have are an 8. Confirms I am right in the middle of sizes, with a thin pair of socks the 7.5's are a perfect fit, little to no movement with the laces undone, with a thicker pair of socks the 8's are a good fit but don't feel quite as good as the 7.5's. Guess I now have a winter/autumn pair with thick socks and spring/summer pair with thin socks... Now to decide which pair to use for London...
